Powdery Beignets, crispy fried chicken, hearty gumbo, and a fruity hurricane - Louisianian food is unlike anywhere else in the world. It's very rare that I travel somewhere and everything I eat is incredible. Usually there are a couple of restaurants or dishes I don't care for, but not in Louisiana. Food is a [...]
Southern Louisiana is like an entire different world from the rest of the state. I'm talking different culture, food, and language. Yes. Language. (Cajun French is a thing y'all!) When people visit Louisiana, they tend to skip this part of the state and spend all their time in New Orleans. Don't get me wrong, [...]
Have you heard of the term “travel weakness?” When you travel, it's something that you absolutely can't help doing for example, some people might need to buy magnets whenever they travel somewhere new or take pictures in front of all the major landmarks. My travel weakness are food tours. Every time I arrive in [...]
Continuing on with my shop locally series is Nevada! I had the pleasure of road tripping through Nevada a couple of years ago. I have only ever been to Vegas, which I am not a huge fan of so that being said, I never thought in a million years I would actually like the [...]

When I told people I was going to Bulgaria, they freaked out. It was 5 months after the war in Ukraine started and even though Bulgaria is petty far from Ukraine, friends, and family did not want me to go. I assured them everything would be fine. Well, one week led to another, and [...]
“How do you find so many cool places when you travel?” This is the question I seem to get asked the most, and I love answering it, but it's come to a point where I am getting asked this question on a daily basis and instead of responding to everyone with the same mundane [...]
It's been awhile since I wrote my last shop local series on Washington State! Since people loved that post, I thought it's time I write another one. This one is coming right after a trip I took to Louisiana. I want to support all the amazing business owners I met and the local products [...]
The Canary Islands were never a place I thought about visiting. Frankly, I didn't know much about them. I knew they were located in Spain, close to Africa and that a lot of British and German people vacation there. A quick Google search convinced me pretty quickly that I had to visit, but the [...]
